I love the fact that software gets updated regularly. Thanks for your feedback. One more question pls. Can you currently get AP to follow the car ahead and match it speed on those hilly winding roads that I dislike.
No, AP is somewhat intelligent and at the same time can be incredibly thick
it knows the speed limit from map data and reading road signs, slows down for bendy roads
it won't blindly match the car in front speed if starts accelerating faster than the speed AP has been engaged at
it will slow down and maintain following distance you've set if the car in front slows
Currently it wont slow down if it starts raining, you have to manually reduce the speed
If your on the motorway and the speed limit drops from 100kmph to 80kmph the detected speed limit will change but AP wont slow down until you instruct it to do so. This hasn't been enabled for NZ yet, not sure why
If lane markings disappear AP has a tendency to want to take the middle of the lane
AP wont change lanes if you want to overtake a slower car you have to disengage change lanes and engage AP again
Once you start using it you soon learn what situations AP can handle and those it can't, when to disengage preferably before your crew decides to mutiny
and never get in the car again. Driving with foot poised over the accelerator ready to counter phantom braking becomes second nature
Both Audietron and myself have FSD which has a few bells and whistles AP doesn't have
Currently off the motorway FSD won't turn left or right at traffic lights or stop signs etc, it will only follow the road it's on
That's currently in beta testing in the US
Radar was dropped as that was deemed to be the cause of phantom braking
As is with so many relationships Tesla was unable to reconcile the two so it's divorce and onward with vision getting full custody
and Radar band from seeing either FSD or AP....
I guess time will tell if FSD and AP are going to be ok with Radar not around
NHTSA is not helping by getting involved and demanding a blow by blow breakdown of what went on
when things must still be a bit raw, Radar hasn't been gone all that long
